AAFES #7
Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 8:44 pm
Many thanks to Antonio Gavino for supplying me with a copy of AAFES Giveaway #7 -- NEW AVENGERS: AN ARMY OF ONE.
Synopsis:
One day, the Army tests Oscorp munitions at Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona. The test is a success, but the Hulk is disturbed by it and gets angrry. He attacks the military base. Nick Fury reports the attack to Iron Man, who summons a bunch of super-heroes to help the Army deal with the rampaging green goliath. Hulk fights off the heroes, only to be stuck by a bunch of tranquilizer darts fired by soldiers. Hulk reverts to an unconscious Bruce Banner (who presumably escapes BTS after this story). The super-heroes help the soldiers rebuild the destroyed base.
This story must occur sometime between World War Hulk and Secret Invasion, although a couple of details are inconsistent, as noted below.
Appearances:
* Hulk (dumb, green, and free, and turns into Bruce Banner, so after H4 6)
* Nick Fury (here at a time when he’s supposed to be underground!)
The Mighty Avengers (based in Stark Tower and led by Stark, so before SI 1):
* Ares
* Black Widow (Natasha)
* Iron Man
* Ms. Marvel (Carol)
* Sentry
The X-Men (here after UX 500, since they are noted as being on the West Coast):
* Beast
* Colossus
* Cyclops
* Emma Frost
* Nightcrawler
* Storm
* Wolverine
The Young Avengers:
* Hulkling
* Patriot
* Stature
* Vision
* Wiccan
The Fantastic Four (in costumes introduced in FF 554):
* Human Torch
* Invisible Woman
* Mr. Fantastic
* Thing
The Agents of Atlas:
* Gorilla Man
* M-11
* Uranian
The New Avengers (apparently summoned by Stark even though they’re wanted by the law!):
* Luke Cage
* Iron Fist
* Spider-Man
Plus...
* Captain America (Bucky, so after CA5 35 and likely after CA5 40)
* Daredevil
* Deadpool
* Falcon
* Hercules (before HERC4 116, since it's before SI)
* She-Hulk
* Thor (likely after his encounter with Stark in T3 3, even though he’s pissed at Stark)
* James D. Wells (segrant first-class)
* Theresa L. Bradley (technical sergeant)
The Thunderbolts are mentioned but do not appear; Stark calls them “super-psychos.”
This is the seventh AAFES giveaway. The previous six were:
#1 -- New Avengers Guest-Starring the Fantastic Four
#2 -- ???
#3 -- Avengers & X-Men: Time Trouble
#4 -- New Avengers: Letters Home
#5 -- ???
#6 -- ???
